Hepato-renal syndrome (HRS) is a serious complication in patients with advanced liver disease indicating a very poor prognosis. Nevertheless, effective treatment strategies have been introduced into clinical practice over the last decade. The combined treatment with terlipressin/albumin has been proven to be effective in most published studies and should be regarded as the standard of care. Norepinephrine or midodrine are possible alternatives when terlipressin is not available. Although there is presently not enough evidence to recommend extracorporeal liver support therapy as a standard procedure in patients with HRS, these concepts constitute promising options that need to be studied in prospective clinical trials.

Liver cirrhosis is a chronic, progressive condition characterized by fibrosis and architectural distortion of the liver, leading to impaired liver function and severe complications. Accurately predicting these complications is crucial to the improvement of patient outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of various non-invasive biomarkers and clinical scores in assessing the risk of complications among cirrhotic patients.

Objective: Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) represents a severe manifestation of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) associated with a wide severity spectrum. ALD is linked to nutritional deficiencies, with the gravity of malnutrition escalating as alcohol abuse and ALD progress. This study aims to delve into the impact of malnutrition on the clinical trajectory of AH.

Background: Liver cirrhosis is the end-stage entity for a wide variety of chronic liver pathologies. These include viral hepatitis B and C, alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hemochromatosis, Wilson disease, autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and primary biliary cirrhosis. In the majority of cases, liver cirrhosis remains completely asymptomatic until acute decompensation occurs.

Lipid and Renal dysfunction in Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) patients occurs either due to multi-organ involvement or secondary to alcoholism. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of lipid and renal parameters in assessing the severity of progression of ALD. Sixty cases of ALD (two groups based on compensated and decompensated features) and thirty healthy controls for comparison were included.
